MAKING MONEY IN PUBLIC LIFE.

The st. Louis Republican cites the current
comments on General Logan's honest poverty
as evidence that his was an exceptional case,
and consoles itself by remarking: 1.-THE fact
that poverty cannot be numbered among the
virtues of still living distinguished Republic
ans-for they are all rich, with no longer pub
lie life and no better advantages than Logan
enjoyed argues that they did not set as high
did" Possibly there has been too much stress
laid on General Logan's poverty as an evidence
of his honesty, though it is certainly legiti-
mate subject of comment, and he, or his mem
DRY, is entitled to the benefit of it. Public life
affords many opportunities for making money
illegitimately, and if a man who has been long
in public life dies poor it is at least, evidence
| that he did not use his position to make
| money. But public life also affords many OPP
portunities for making money legitimately,
and public man is not necessarily censurable
| if he makes money while in Office. Of
course, he must not use his official
position or influence for that purpose, directly
or Indirectly; but is he estopped from awaiting
himself of strictly legitimate opportunities of
making good investments or lettering his
| financial condition when he can do so without
in any way compromising his official honor?
We think not. If this were So many Of the
brightest men in public ife of both parties,
would be ruled out, for very few of them are
able to live and support families on the sala-
ries they receive. strict application of the
rule would even prohibit lawyers who are
mem bers Of Congress from practicing during
their terms of office, and this would debar
Senators Vest and Cockrell, of Missouri; Sen
ator Voorhees,, of Indiana, and two or three
score more Of Senators and Representatives,
Democrats as we'll as Republicans, who make
all the money they can by practicing law
while they are in public life and would make
ten times as much if they could. Now il
this is right, and nobody condemns it, why
may not public man who il
not lawyer endeavor to add to his in
come by legitimate business methods? There
is no reason in the world why he should not
A large majority of public men try to do it
Some are successful and others are not, ant
while it is fair to conclude when public ma,
dies poor that he is honest, it does not follow
that because a public man makes money he i
J dishonest. Some men have no money-mak
ing talent-never would make money in pub
lie or private life Others have the facult,
of making money easily and legitimately, ant
{ would make it under afAkost any crcum
stances. There is great difference in mel
in this regard, and it is contemplate to in,
ply, as the ST. Louis Republican does, tina
because public man is rich he is therefor
dishonest. Some of the wealthiest men no,
in public life are Democrats, but it does no
follow that they are thieves The fact that
man is a Democrat makes a worse prima faci
case against him than the fact that he is rich
The latter is consistent with honesty, Will
the former---well, this is as good place t
stop as any.

THE correspondent Of the Louisville Cou-
rier-J Journal says;
81 think that Mr.. Harrison is the only Re-
publican in Indiana who really expected to
carry the Legislature at the last election. AS
his political existence depended on the COM
plexion of the Legislature, it was but natural
that he should take more interest in the mat
ter than any one else. He certainly made q
very active and very successful campaign All
Of which goes to show that Mr. Harrison is a
very shrewd politician"
1t was, indeed, "a very successful cam
paign, as Colonel Burdette says. If there is
any doubt of the success, we advise the
doubter to keep his weather-eye peeled.

A REVIEW just published of the agricultural
and industrial progress of South Carolina
shows that the income of the people of the
State from agricultural products, the products
in different branches of manufactures, and
from the mines and quarries, amounts to so
per cent. more than in 1860, when the slave
system was supposed to make the State so
prosperous. History shows that this has
always been the result of the abolition of
slavery. Individual slave owners may be
impoverished, but the community at large is
immensely benefited. 1t is infinitely better
for the State that every man should own him
